Q: I was wondering if it is in my best interest to not only compare the surgeons’ ability but does the cost vary from practice to practice for the same procedures? A: There are many factors that go into plastic surgery pricing. Overhead costs vary by location and type of practice. There are some areas of the country where the cost of doing business is high – like Manhattan and LA for instance. It is more expensive to operate a medical practice in those areas than in some other areas of the country so those practices tend to charge more. Surgery tends to be more expensive to perform in hospitals than in outpatient or office based surgery centers. The other factor that goes into pricing is the surgeon’s skill and experience. Everyone has a budget so I understand the need to factor cost into decision making when selecting a surgeon. However, this is a very important decision and I don’t recommend using price as the sole factor. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in your procedure of interest.
